I wish they sold in shops, in high trend,
grace and noblesse
as a line or a brand

to advertise and make them well sold
to let people know,
to buy them
to make their story told

to spend patience on a large scale, like butter on bread
to enjoy today, leaving tomorrow ahead
to take each other face value, first hand,
looking each other in the eye, no pretend…

as for gentleness… like bottled water, in high demand,
kindness and meaning in gestures and things stated
feeling the minutes, hours as if they were sacred,
anything that might happen, anyone we may meet
like a child to see, and with a warm heart to treat

to put aside gentle thoughts, warm and plenty,
the rooms of the heart to be well-supplied, wealthy
to be able to offer goodness and glee
to the others, no price, just happy and free
joy, confidence, gratitude, dream and delight,
first thing in the morning
make a wonderful sight
good ingredients, light… if we have them fresh start
we can call heart-felt giving, and living, an art

and if ever away we went, on long trips
to embrace it all, in no rush and no slips,
so we would not miss
the wonder, the bliss…

not in a hurry to label as something else
not in a race to become someone else
not an attempt to avoid somehow else
not in a frenzy to get somewhere else

unless… just like that
to see
and to be
with the thought that a you is also a me,
smiling from the mirror through a he or a she…
and a now is an ever,
a then and a key…

I wish they sold in shops, in high trend
goodness, noblesse
